The Dreamer

Just a child when she crossed the border
To reunite with her father
Who had traveled north to support her
So many years before

She left half her family behind
With a crucifix to remind her
She pledged her future to this land
And does the best that she can do

¿A dónde van los sueños?
Nacidos de la fe y la ilusión
Donde no hay camino ni huella
Sólo deseos que susurran al corazón

Eagles fly on columns of the wind
(Viviendo en el viento)
Fish swim the currents of the sea
(Que libre el mar)
People cross oceans and deserts and rivers
(Cruzamos el río)
Carrying nothing more than the dream
Of what life could be

Today she got the order
They're taking steps to deport her
To send her back over the border
And tear her away from the life she has made

We don't see half the people around us
But we see enemies who surround us
And the walls that we build between us
Keep us prisoners of our fear

¿A dónde van los sueños?
Where do the dreams go?
Nacidos de la fe y la ilusión
Born of faith and illusion
Donde no hay camino ni huella
Where there's no road and no footprint

(Sólo deseos) only desires
(que susurran al corazón) that whisper to the heart
(Sólo deseos) only desires
(que susurran al corazón) that whisper to the heart
Sólo deseos que susurran al corazón
